I have asked you before not to be proud of your harmonious family, your peaceful surroundings, your material gain and your whatever benefit that you think comes to you through the blessing of the Master or through the practice of the Quan Yin Method.
It is true that the Master will bless us with whatever we desire; but we should not be satisfied with that and feel proud of that achievement, because this is just nothing. The stinking fertilizer is necessary for the flowers, but the flowers are what we want, not the fertilizer.
He cares to set you free. If a master, as great as Jesus, has told us like this, then we should take care. We should know what the Master wants from us, and what we truly want from a master.
If our family becomes more peaceful, harmonious and loving toward each other, then it's fine. Thank God, thank the Master power. Should it not be so, thanks God that you don't have an extra person to take care, to have to pay attention to, to have to worry whether he is pleased, she is happy with you or not.
You are freer if you have no one to love you. Truly, it is like that. Anything has a price. Even if a person loves you, you must take extra care of him or her, so that he is happy; because if he is not happy, you are not happy. But if a person hates you, pooh!...nice, good-bye. Nothing for you to do, nothing for you to worry about. It's not my fault if you hate me. That's good.
We don't wish people to hate us; but actually, the kind of love that we can have in this world is almost bondage. Even the good relationships are only bondage; because in thinking of them, we forget to set each others free. We demand from each other attention, love in return and all these kinds of things. Rarely the love between a couple flows freely without attachment, without demand, without command, without really any condition and without effort.
Mostly you must make an effort in order to keep it, and any effort takes time and energy. Any person who you love around you, you must take time and attention, even if you don't want to. You just have to pay attention and we are diverted from the one-pointed concentration inside. Not many people can concentrate inside and outside at the same time. Even if he or she can, there must be time and it's time consuming. While you pay attention to these things, you can not pay attention to that thing. Even if you can remember both things at the same time, you can only do one thing at a time. You can not pay attention to this one and then also at the same time fully pay attention to the other things.
So, actually we are perfect alone. We know what we have to do and what time to do what. But, unluckily, this world is made of many beings, including human beings; and we have to interact with them all the time if we have to do something, or else just go to the Himalayas, or some other mountain, be alone, do things yourself, that is also good. Maybe sounds very useless, but it is good.
I don't know if it is useful to stay in the world and teaching human kind, when most of them only desire material benefits, and cling to their personal happiness and achievements, at all cost. Most of you profess that you love me so much and you love to see me so much, would be better everyday; but it is not true. As soon as I ask you to come and help me, work for me, be near me, you say, "No! I still like my family life. I love my wife, my kids, my husband and my whatever-you-name-it. Every time you come here you say, "Oh, Master! We miss You. We miss You so much, please stay longer. Please stand there. Something like that. I don't know what you really want, and I don't think you know what you want either. (Master laughs.)
If you honestly ask yourselves to make a choice then you'll truly know what you want. Even after, if you love me so much, you have weighed the pros and cons, and you have decided that within your heart you love me more than your family members, more than your position, money or whatever education, and you come, then at that time, you still have to face your ego. You have to kill yourself before being able to become one with me.
These
persons are rare. Everything attracts you. If you are able to
help me in some kind of work, then you become attached to that
work. You attach to the importance of that work, and your importance
of doing that work, and you forget whom you are working for,
for what purpose is the work there. You forget that you work
because of me, because I ask you to do it, and because of the
benefit to others that you do it.
